First off welcome to BFT.
I have a few things l like to do from shore when trout fishing.
1. Fly and a casting bubble. Go and pick up some spin casting bubbles, there usually clear and you can fill them with water. Fill them about half way up then tie on about 6-8 feet of leader. I like to tie on either woolly buggers or renegades. Those seem to bet the best for me me. But pretty much any of your favorite flies will work. As far as colors of them, I like purple and olive buggers and the standard colors for other flies. Retrieve extreamly slow!! As slow as you can stand.
2. Use a fly rod with the same flies. Just cast out and strip back in. Again a pretty slow retrieve.
3. Spinners are always a good choice. My go to spinner is the blue fox vibax in gold or silver, depending on the day. Jake's spin-a-lure are pretty good as well.
I'm not at all familiar with the lake you are fishing, seeing as I'm from Utah and have never even been to NJ. But good luck on your fishing adventure!
